Wouldn't it be great if.......
Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo joined forces to create a united machine that would please everyone?
It would put an end to the console wars, and everybody would live happily ever after....

Please tell me how Sony would monopolise the field? MS have the money to buy sony 5 times at least.

We don't need a single console, we need a single format. The current state of affairs is ridiculous when you think about it. If you were to buy a DVD player from Sony, you would expect it to play all DVD's. If you bought one from Panasonic you would again expect it to play all DVD's. You wouldn't be happy if you had they both used different formats, neither being compatable with the other.
The same should apply to consoles. All should use a standard data storage format, so that you don't have to worry about the games when buying a console - you only have to worry about the console itself. That is the way it should be, and almost certainly will be eventually.
It won't happen in the near future, because the capabilities supplied by the consoles differ, and do not outstrip the standard of the games. With DVD's, they are already as advanced as they can realistically be - incredibly high frame rates and detail. Pretty much all DVD players are capable of playing any DVD around these days. When we reach the point that the games are not streching the consoles enough, that's the time when a single format could and should be brought in.

One problem.
The makers of the games wouldn't have anyone to compete against any more, and they could become less caring while making the games.
Unless they competed against themselves on one big console.

Been done to death Franny but still a dream that would settle everything. But discussing and arguing is all part of the gaming these days and would it be the same without it... and there is a small problem with monopolies!
What on Earth would the controller be like!??? :S
And imagine the size and colour of it too!
And imagine the size and colour of it too!
but then, if everyone had the same console, nobody would make good games, because they know that they can sell any game and everyone will buy it
great, bring it on
great, bring it on
Not really, only souless Ronin buy more than one console.
